You're right I didn't see it but his name not being on the scoresheet coupled with Giggs being moved in to a striker role during the game gives me the impression he put in his normal "is he on the pitch" performance.

Your impression is wrong.

So what else did Donkey achieve on the pitch today other than miss numerous chances and needing to get partnered by a veteran winger in the twilight of his career?

What a shame for Shay Given, the best player for City (in his position) and he goes and gets injured at probably the most crucial time of the season

Worst of all is that the replacement looks like he`s just been brought in from some alley in the red light district, hopefully he`s not to bad(He is the Faroe Islands keeper)

A point away at Arsenal is not a bad result but it might cost us dear, wondering whether i would rather we lost the game and had Given fit for Villa and Spuds!

Speedy recovery Shay

Scottish top flight football. 25 boring, identical seasons in a row and counting.

Yes those seasons that have went to the nail biting final day, indeed final minutes, have been particularly tedious

I think a massive well done is due to those bhoys from the east end of Glasgow for securing 2nd place.

{begrudged very well done to Wattie, Ally & team}

Shame Celtic finished 2nd... means less money to offer us for Keane. Oh well. Just so long as he stays there.

Arthurgray50@blu · 25-04-2010, 18:14

I read in one of todays nationals, that Keane is bieng sold anyway by Levy. and that any proposed perm move with Gudjonsen is on hold, as Spurs cannot gurrantee CL football next season.

Remind me how many teams have won the premiership recently?

Yes it gets boring when its between two teams but the way things have gone this season with the 'diddy' teams getting in amongst it, Rangers having no money at all and Celtic doing their bit for care in the community by giving Tony Mowbray a job made it quite interesting.

Yes the split is a crap idea badly implemented but the dogfight for relegation will go to the wire.

65k a week for a penalty taker? Bargain!

Well in the 25 years since the Old firm began their current dominance, there's been 7 different English champions.

I think that the SFA, needs a major overall, as it is the same each season, and it is getting very boring, its either Celtic or Rangers wining and fighting for the big.

We have some good clubs in Scotland, Hearts, Aberdeen, Motherwell to name a few, but there has to be something done, money has to be put into Scottish football to give clubs a better fighting chance to take on the big guns - and that is only two clubs.

When the TV rights come up, then these companies must offer a better deal, then the multi figure that Sky and ESPN, pays for the PL, what was it that Sky paid nearly a billion over five years, maybe if the two big ones Sky and ESPN made an offer in this region, then Scottish club would get a better deal and football would be better.

England has 10 times the population. So for England to produce as competive a league as we do in Scotland:

Expected different champions: 10 X 2 = 20
Actual different champions: 7

Assumption that EPL is more competitive than SPL = Epic fail

Keane will probably be sold (hopefully for the last time) but you're wrong about Gudjohnsen. He already said he wants to stay with Spurs before qualifing for the CL. However Monaco want him back.
